Do you want to pay $42 900 to a whole new 1992 BMW 325i Cabrio with only 237 Miles?

as a big fan of BMW E30 3-series, you can understand my excitement after discovering a 325i 1992 practically brand new with a simple 237 miles or 381 kilometers on the clock, by surfing on eBay last night following a comprehensive coverage of the the Detroit Auto Show - what can I say I like cars...

of course, it was the least desirable convertible (although equipped with an automatic manual transmission ), but how many times do you find an E30 these days with virtually no time of road?

but as with many other things in this life, the first two seconds of enthusiasm were followed by disappointment looking at asking price from the seller of the Arizona of... $42 900 (€ 32 200 at the current exchange rate).

I don't know why and how the car ended up be maintained for more than two decades, but the seller said that during that time, it was "covered throughout his life.

of course, we all know that when a vehicle is not used for a long period, several things can and will begin to break or spoil. The current owner of the 325i convertible says that the car has recently undergone service in order to resolve these issues, and which are listed in detail below. If everything has been addressed, is another story, for the future buyer of the car know.

in regards to the asking price, while it is extremely rare to discover a virtually unused BMW E30, but the 325i convertible is not a special model somehow. Although it was a 320iS (less powerful brother of the M3 did for the Italy and the Portugal) or a 325iS with a stick shift, I doubt someone would pay 40 k $ for it. A few months ago, I remember finding a rare 320iS LHD with the sought-after M Technic aero package and stylistic with about 50,000 miles and in perfect condition for about $19,000 in the United Kingdom (worldwide delivery).

If you want another example, you remember 1991 BMW 850i with a manual six-speed gearbox and only 11 440 miles or kilometers 18 407 that was for sale on asked eBay with a price of $47 500 ? It was in July of 2012. Fast forward to today and the same seller dropped the price of $33 500...
